I currently work in audit at BDO but am interested in transaction or valuation advisory opportunities at a Big4. Do Big4 recruiters look to firms like BDO for advisory roles? From what I understand, internal transition into advisory is more common. Thanks for any insights you might have.

Make the switch to advisory prior to applying to B4.

I would disagree that internal transfer is more common. You definitely can get there from BDO audit. If that doesn’t work you can also try middle market advisory. Big 4 advisory 100% recruits from middle market.

If you’re hoping to find a housing deal, you’re out of luck in the short term.
Maybe if you can deal with the higher payments for the next 3 years and sell/refinance above today’s prices you’ll be ok, but this isn’t going to be pretty.
